[0001] [Cross-reference to related applications]

[0002] This application claims priority to Indian Patent Application No. IN202121045719, filed on October 7, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0003] This disclosure relates to a method for controlling the growth of undesirable vegetation. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a method for controlling the growth of weedy soybean (Glycine max) using synergistic combinations / components. Prior Technology

[0004] Weeds are harmful plants that are detrimental to agriculture and significantly impact crop yields. Farmers use various types of herbicides to control weeds. Often, herbicides with different modes of action are combined, allowing for broader control and management of herbicide resistance.

[0005] Soybeans are a widely cultivated food crop globally. Currently, there are approximately 24 species in the genus *Glycine*, of which only two (soybean and wild soybean) are annuals. When planted with various other crops (such as corn and cotton), genetically engineered soybean plants resistant to herbicides 2,4-D, glyphosate, and phosmet often grow as volunteer soybeans. Volunteer crops are generally considered weeds because they reduce crop yield and quality, and decrease harvest efficiency. If glyphosate-resistant volunteer soybean populations are high and left uncontrolled, they can lead to crop yield losses. Volunteer soybeans act as reservoirs for plant pathogens, surviving between planting seasons and increasing inoculum for soil-borne pathogens. Growers must apply alternative or additional non-phosmet herbicides to effectively control volunteer glyphosate-resistant soybean plants in glyphosate-resistant corn and cotton fields. However, currently known combinations are insufficient to control resistant and persistent weeds, such as weedy soybeans.

[0006] Additionally, combinations of herbicides may not always produce the desired effect. Combinations of herbicides can lead to additive or antagonistic effects. They can also cause phytotoxicity to crops, making them an undesirable combination. Therefore, careful selection of herbicides is necessary so that they can be combined to provide a synergistic effect in controlling weeds, while avoiding phytotoxicity to crops and reducing the chance of weeds developing resistance to specific herbicides.

[0007] Accordingly, the art requires a method for using combinations to protect crops from weedy soybeans, such combinations having advantageous properties, such as synergistic effects, aiding in resistance management, reducing the dosage of herbicides used, and having excellent residual effects. [Purpose of the Invention]

[0008] One objective of this disclosure is to provide a method for controlling weedy soybeans by applying a synergistic herbicide combination.

[0014] This article describes a method for controlling weedy soybeans by applying a synergistic weed control combination.

[0015] In one embodiment, a method for controlling the growth of undesirable vegetation (weedy soybean) includes treating the site to be controlled with a synergistic component comprising a phytoalexin and at least one compound selected from the following: (a) Nitrophenyl ether herbicides; (b) Imidazolinone herbicides; (c) Organophosphate herbicides; (d) Dicarboxylic acid imine herbicides; (e) Phenoxyacetic acid herbicides; (f) Pyridine herbicides; (g) Cyclohexene oxime herbicides; (h) Aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides; (i) Triazolone herbicides, and / or (j) Uracil herbicides.

[0016] In another sample, a synergistic component for controlling weedy soybeans comprises sclerotinia and at least one herbicide selected from the following: (a) Nitrophenyl ether herbicides; (b) Imidazolinone herbicides; (c) Organophosphate herbicides; (d) Dicarboxylic acid imine herbicides; (e) Phenoxyacetic acid herbicides; (f) Pyridine herbicides; (g) Cyclohexene oxime herbicides; (h) Aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides; (i) triazolone herbicides; and / or (j) Uracil herbicides.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the sclerotium is L-sclerotium.

[0018] According to another embodiment, the weight ratio of the composition containing sclerotinia and the at least one herbicide ranges from 1:100 to 100:1.

[0019] According to another embodiment, the weight ratio of the composition containing sclerotinia and the at least one herbicide ranges from 1:75 to 75:1.

[0020] According to another approach, a method for controlling the growth of soybeans with undesirable vegetation and weeds includes treating the site to be controlled with a synergistic composition comprising a herbicide, an imidazolinone herbicide, and a triadimefon herbicide.

[0021] According to another example, this weedy soybean is controlled in a range of crops. Implementation

[0022] The following discussion describes some representative embodiments of this disclosure. The invention is not limited to the specific details and representative methods in its broader aspects. Illustrative examples are described in this section in conjunction with the provided examples and methods.

[0023] Note that, as used in this specification, the singular forms "a" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly states otherwise. Therefore, for example, a reference to a composition containing a "surfactant" includes a mixture of two or more surfactants. It should also be noted that the term "or" is generally used in its meaning as including "and / or" unless otherwise clearly stated in the text. The terms "emulsifier" and "surfactant" refer to substantially the same thing and are used interchangeably. Furthermore, the terms "composition" or "formulation" also refer to substantially the same thing and are used interchangeably.

[0024] Unless otherwise stated, quantities expressed in "%" or "% w / w" refer to the weight percentage of the total solution or composition. This disclosure describes all aspects of its various forms in detail below:

[0025] Phosphinothricin (DL-hosphinothricin-4-yl(methyl)phosphonic acid) is a racemic phosphate iminoamino acid (Hoerlein, G. 1994; glufosinate (Phosphinothricin), a natural amino acid with unexpected herbicidal properties. Rev. of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 138, 73-145). Its ammonium salt (phosphinothricin ammonium salt) is widely used as a non-selective herbicide and is the active ingredient in commercial herbicide formulations such as Basta™, Buster™, Challenge™, Conquest™, Dash™, Final™, Finale™, Liberty™, and Ignite™. The L-isomer of glutamate is a structural analog of glutamate and therefore a competitive inhibitor of bacterial and plant glutamine synthetase (GS) (Bayer et al., 1972, Phosphinothricin and phosphinothricyl-alanyl-alanin. Helv. Chim. Acta 55, 224-239; Leason et al., 1982, Inhibition of pea leaf glutamine synthetase by methioninsulfoximine, Phosphinothricin and other glutamate analogs. J. Phytochem. 21, 855-857). The D-isomer is not a GS inhibitor and has no herbicidal activity.

[0026] Chemical structures of D-salicylate and L-salicylate.

[0027] The inventors unexpectedly discovered that weedy soybeans can be completely controlled by a combination of phytoalexin and at least one herbicide: (a) Nitrophenyl ether herbicides; (b) Imidazolinone herbicides; (c) Organophosphate herbicides; (d) Dicarboxylic acid imine herbicides; (e) Phenoxyacetic acid herbicides; (f) Pyridine herbicides; (g) Cyclohexene oxime herbicides; (h) Aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides; (i) triazolone herbicides; and / or (j) Uracil herbicides.

[0028] Even more unexpectedly, the combination of the herbicide and the second herbicide showed a synergistic effect in controlling weedy soybeans. The degree of synergistic enhancement in the effect of the above combination on controlling weedy soybeans was unpredictable and unexpected.

[0029] As used herein, the term "glufosinate" refers to any molecule of racemic phosphomolybdate amino acid or its salt. This term also includes forms and isomers of glufosinate, such as glufosinate-p, L-glufosinate, D-glufosinate, and their sodium, potassium, or ammonium salts. Agriculturally acceptable salts may be used, such as monosodium, disodium, monopotassium, dipotassium, calcium, ammonium, -NH₃(CH₃)⁺, -NH₂(CH₃)₂⁺, -NH(CH₃)₃⁺, -NH(CH₃)₂(C₂H₄OH)⁺, -NH₂(CH₃)(C₂H₄OH)⁺, and similar salts. The term may broadly refer to any form of glufosinate or its salts, such as solvates, hydrates, anhydrous forms, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, amorphous forms, or mixtures thereof.

[0030] Preferably, the herbicide styrax used in any of the forms or examples described herein may be replaced by or used interchangeably with its L-isomer (i.e., L-styrax).

[0031] As used herein, the term "L-glufosinate" refers to the L-isomer of glufosinate or its salts. The L-isomer of glufosinate is a structural analog of glutamate and is therefore a competitive inhibitor of glutamine synthase (GS) in bacteria and plants. The L-mirror isomer of glufosinate inhibits glutamine synthase, leading to the accumulation of toxic ammonium ions and indirectly halting photosynthesis. It is also known as phosphinothricin or (S)-2-amino-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphono)butyric acid. This term generally encompasses derivatives, such as salts and esters of L-glufosinate. The term can broadly refer to any form of L-glufosinate or its salts, such as solvates, hydrates, anhydrous forms, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, amorphous forms, or mixtures thereof. The term "L-glufosinate or a salt thereof" encompasses any salt of L-glufosinate, preferably sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts. The term may also refer to a mixture of racemic isomers of L-glufosinate, D-glufosinate, and their salts, wherein the content of L-glufosinate or its salt in the mixture is 70% or higher, preferably 80% or higher, and more preferably 90% or higher.

[0032] Therefore, in one embodiment, the preferred solid herbicide is L-solid herbicide.

[0033] In this discussion, the term "weedy gycine max" refers to gypsum that grows in fields where other crops are grown. It can be called free-growing soybean and includes both wild-type and recombinant varieties. The term also includes soybean varieties resistant to other herbicides, particularly 2,4-D, glyphosate, and chlorpyrifos. Resistant varieties can be bred naturally or genetically engineered to exhibit the resistant phenotype. In other words, gypsum is a weed because it is not a target crop.

[0034] The term "herbicide" as used in this article refers to a compound that controls or alters plant growth. The term "herbicidally effective amount" refers to the amount of such a compound or combination of such compounds that can control or alter plant growth. Control effects include all deviations from natural development, such as killing, retardation, leaf burn, albinism, and dwarfing. The term "plants" refers to all the physical parts of a plant, including seeds, seedlings, saplings, roots, tubers, stems, stalks, branches, leaves, and fruits. "Locus" is intended to include soil, seeds, seedlings, and established vegetation.

[0166] This disclosure uses the following active ingredient compounds to prepare combinations / compositions of L-fix herbicides and other herbicides. Active ingredients Dosage ai, g / L L-Sterilaria dichotoma 280 Fulufen 240 Micao cigarettes 106 cyclohexane 400 Jialinsai 648 Fude Masha 500 2,4-D 670 Trichloroisocyanate 480 Kecaotong 240 chlorofluorocarbon 124.7 [Evaluation of the herbicidal activity of the components after germination under field conditions]

[0167] [Methods:] A greenhouse trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of L-S-methyl and other herbicide combinations on weedy soybeans. The soil used was sandy loam soil - sand: 68.0%; silt: 8.0%; clay: 24.0%. All treatments were replicated three times per treatment, and the application rate was 150 L / h. [Evaluate]

[0168] The expected efficacy of L-glucopyranoside and other herbicide combinations was calculated using the established Colby method. Any difference between observed and "expected" efficacy may be attributed to synergistic effects between the two compounds.

[0169] In the Colby method, the expected (or predicted) response of a herbicide combination is calculated by dividing the product of the responses observed in each individual component of the combination when applied alone by 100, and then subtracting this value from the sum of the responses observed in each individual component when applied alone. An unexpected enhancement of the combination's efficacy is then determined by comparing the observed combination response with the expected (or predicted) response, which is calculated from the responses observed in each individual component. If the observed combination response is greater than the expected (or predicted) response, or conversely, if the difference between the observed and expected responses is greater than zero, the combination is said to be synergistic or unexpectedly effective (Colby, SR, Weeds, 1967(15), pp. 20-22). The Colby method requires only the application of a single dose of each herbicide or a mixture of two doses. The formula for calculating expected efficacy (EE) is compared with observed efficacy (OE) to determine the efficacy of this disclosure, as explained below:

[0170] The expected effects of the combination of the two active ingredients are as follows: EE = (A + B - (A x B) / 100)

[0171] The expected effects of the combination of the three active ingredients are as follows: EE = A + B + C – (AB + AC + BC) / 100 + ABC / 10,000 in, A = The efficacy observed when active ingredient A is at the same concentration as used in the mixture. B = The efficacy observed for active ingredient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture. C = The efficacy observed when the active ingredient C is at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
